    Absolute gem. This place is mandatory. Food, No other place in town comes close. Atmosphere could use a little upgrades, but it doesnt matter. Because food and service are king here.

    There are 3 El Charro Tapatio in Porterville, but this location is the BEST one. Everything is always delicious and fresh. We really like the elderly lady in there. She is just genuinely happy and so sweet all the time. She is really good ...

    The BEST salsa and chips in Tulare County at the Teapot Dome location! We love eating in and also take out. Every week I stop by for a large container of salsa to use at home. Beautiful friendly people who make your dining experience magical.
